It was a video saying cyberpunk 2077 release date would be announced at e3.

I don't doubt we'll see Cyberpunk this year but either this leak is fake as gently caress or CDPR were asleep at the wheel when they put the "REVEAL TRAIL ER" text down. It fades in completely differently from everything else in the trailer, is in a dumb 8-bit font, and has bad spacing issues.

Good god, couldn't they have turned off the motion blur and depth of field effects for their gameplay reveal? Everything was so blurred and out of focus, plus with all the glitch effects and chromatic abberations it's like they don't want me to see the game. Maybe they're hiding low texture quality or something.

As for the gameplay itself, it looked almost like Titanfall 2 in its movement abilities. Might be pretty fun, hopefully it'll be playable at E3 and people will be able to give impressions.

Yeah I thought the game itself looked pretty good but that trailer leads me to think it's either early in development or a technical mess.

Is it likely that they were planning to work on it more for an E3 reveal but their hand was forced because of the leaks?

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the Direct of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame the joy of Sakurai?

if the rpg CDPR is talking about is just a new mini-expansion in Witcher 3's engine but removes all combat poo poo and is just a travelling card collector/battler rpg I'd buy it day 1. Geralt doing missions to find pilfered cards at a tavern, "hmmmm looks like wet cardboard. The booster pack wrapping is frayed at the edges"

It's interesting that they've put 2021 already as a release date. I think most developers would rather keep a projected release date that far in the future under wraps with placeholder "coming soon!" or "TBA".

i’d be into a s.t.a.l.k.e.r. battle royale but i’d just rather have a new s.t.a.l.k.e.r. game for real

What did you sacrifice?

A post on Facebook by Sergiy Grygorovych has an announcement from GSC Game World that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is in development (thanks Polygon). Or more correctly, back in development after a first go at the shooter sequel was put on indefinite hold back in 2012. There isn't much to go by yet, but there's a new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Website offering a 2021 (2.0.2.1.) release window. Word is:

As cool as STALKER 2 sounds, aren't most of the people that worked on the original trilogy at different companies now (4A Games & Vostok Games)?

This is correct, especially since gsc has been trying to make a PvP game work recently that hasn't lifted off. I love stalker to bits, hell I still replay Call of Pripyat and Shadows of Chernobyl once a year but I am cautiously optimistic about this.

At this point I'm willing to bet that the game will only have similar themes to the original game(s), and that story and everything about it will be it's own thing. Though Pripyat and Chernobyl will likely still be the center of attention.
